The five Creative Habits of Mind: Imaginative, Inquisitive, Persistent, Collaborative and Disciplined, are drawn from the five-dimensional creative thinking model developed through the work of Professor Bill Lucas, Professor Guy Claxton, and Dr Ellen Spencer, who reviewed decades of research and conducted an appreciative enquiry and field trials with teachers. The habits and some suggested pedagogies are outlined in their book Teaching Creative Thinking: Developing learners who generate ideas and can think critically.
The diagram below outlines the five key Creative Habits and 15 sub-habits essential for the development of well-rounded, creative students.
